some days your happy
some days your hot
some times you can't tell
if your alive or not
the skies may be blue
then may turn grey
some mornings you wake up
with nothing to say

hold on
hold on my friend
it's the beginning
it's not the end

the times may fool you
your getting old
you start believing
the stories told
they bend and twist you
get inside your head
you shouldn't listen
to a word they said

hold on
hold on my friend
it's the beginning
it's not the end
so hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

the worlds a prostitute, it's going down
the more you follow it, head spins around
you have the thought of change, they kick you round
but what they do not know, you built this town
they only throw their words, hits against the wall
how can they swing the batt, when you have the ball

go find that angel
their here for you
they see into your heart
you know what to do
the world can be yours
give it a try
you should be looking up
and part the sky

hold on
hold on my friend
it's the beginning
it's not the end
look up
stopping looking down
the answers not at your feet

it's in the sky

answers not at your feet

their in the sky

play that guitar slowly and let it bleed
feel the kick drum with not much speed
make your heart pump feel it in your hand
you are the earth my friend not drifting sand

thanks beautiful!

Wrote this song on break today. I leave Ohio Sat morning but want to come back if I get a chance this summer yet. Was up around your old place yesterday looking at antiques. Bought some cool stuff for my pad here.

I was working on some Tom Petty songs and they inspired a tune that gave birth to this song.

Hope you and my main man are having a grand time. I'm supposed to do a gig in Nashville this year I hear. Is that far from you guys? I'd like to spend a night at Bourbon Street Blues if I get a chance. Don't know if you guys ever make it over there but it's a cool hang. I could see you and the manO having a good time there.

Very nice MG. I especially liked the line: "Play the guitar slowly and let it bleed". I could write something just from that line alone bigsmile

Thanks guys. Hope your all doing well. Rolled into Chicago Saturday and have been so busy. The folks here knew how much work I needed to get done so they put me a mattress in the studio. Actually it's in the home theatre and tonight while I was working on the computer they came in a started watching TV on this huge screen. They left a couple of minutes ago and I started thinking about how in the world I ended up here.

I guess it's all about the adventure we call living, and we all have our little slice of the life pie.
